Steel Pedestals, Legs and Columns
Steel pedestals, legs and columns including all components shall be installed as specified in the Contract
Documents plumb vertically with a tolerance of 1H in 200V.
915.07.04.03
Field Splices
Bolted field splices shall have full contact bearing when assembled, and shall not have a separation
exceeding 0.5 mm for at least 75% of the entire contact area. The separation of any remaining portion
shall not exceed 1 mm.
915.07.04.04
Coating of Structural Steel
All coating shall be according to OPSS 911.
915.07.05

915.07.06
Handling
Components shall be erected using appropriate lifting equipment; temporary bracing, guys and stiffening
devices so that the components are at no time overstressed, unstable, unsafe or the coating is damaged.
The components shall only be handled at the lifting points shown on the sealed and signed shop drawings
and erection drawings.
915.07.07
Transportation, Delivery and Storage
Not less than one week before any shipping begins, including transportation to the galvanizing plant, the
delivery schedule shall be provided to the Contract Administrator.
Application shall be made for permission to transport when the load exceeds the load, width, height,
weight or length limits of the jurisdiction through which the load will be transported.
The Contractor shall perform all work necessary to ensure safe loading, delivery, unloading and storage
of components to the site specified.
Components shall be loaded for shipping in such a manner that they can be transported and unloaded at
their destination without being over stressed or damaged.
Components shall be stored so that no over-stressing or damage is caused.
Materials and equipment shall not be stored less than 4 m from the travelled portion of any roadway
opened to traffic.
Advertising by means of removable signing is permitted on elements only while in transit to the specified
site. Painting of advertisements directly on elements will not be permitted.

support structure.
2) The full length of the legs of the cantilever static sign support structures.
3) All full penetration groove welds in the eight chord ‘crank’ locations of the aluminium end
components of the changeable message sign support structures shall be tested using ultrasonic testing
methods. (The ‘crank’ location is the joint in the end component where the horizontal chords meet
the sloping chords.)
